In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series stands as a towering achievement, particularly in Europe, where it is considered the pinnacle of the genre traditionally dominated by PC gaming. Now, mobile enthusiasts can dive into the revamped and remastered world of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android devices.
Set against the backdrop of Paris, the game follows the journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The adventure kicks off with George witnessing the bombing of a Parisian cafe and the subsequent escape of a mysterious clown, drawing him into a centuries-old conspiracy that spans from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
As suggested by its name, "Reforged" delivers a visually enhanced experience. The game, which already boasted impressive visuals, now features fully reanimated and repainted graphics, making the adventure smoother and more immersive than ever.
